Choosing the stream after passing out tenth

However educated we as parents are we make mistakes in helping our children choose a stream after the board exams.

Though we declare that we will allow our child to choose, parent start influencing their children once the results are out. This is so in many cases, though there are few who help them take the right decision.

There is a fixed attitude amongst many. More than 80 , Science. 70s means Commerce while Arts has no scope. We usually advise to take science claiming that they can move to Commerce and Arts after Science. Students too get influenced by their friends.

After tenth one has to choose between Science , Arts and Commerce. Teenagers usually cannot decide beyond that. . To choose one of the streams he has to first decide his likes and dislikes. Arts and Commerce are easy to handle, it is Science that needs to be given one more thought.

Though exams are over he needs to go through his tenth standard book once again, at least browse through them. The reason being that he can decide if he can actually enjoy science . One needs to enjoy studying this subject at least for two years.

If he finds it interesting then he can once again brush through his weak topics as this will enable him to strengthen his foundation.

The next step is to choose between isc, cbse and ssc. None are better than the other, they just work a different way . Every student will find comfort zone in either syllabus. To choose betwen the three one needs to go through the books. This is a must for isc and cbse. Be prepared for the different topics and how much in detail each one goes. This will mentally prepare the student for the subjects as well as the system.

After that comes choice of school and college. Most of the time you have to study on your own and so no school or college is bad.

I have come to the conclusion that many students choose the stream without understanding their own limitation, choose the school and college because their friends go there and extra classes also for the same reason.

Even when advised they refuse to listen. And by the time they realise, it is too late.
